• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I take this opportunity to thank the Chair for that very lengthy move of this Motion for the adoption of this Report. view

• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: From the outset, I do not want to run the risk of repeating myself in relation to all that has been said by my very good Chair, but I want to pick from where he has ended his very good submission. The Chair of the PAC had the same concerns on prioritisation of audit reports from both PIC and PAC. This Report was tabled before this House on 4th May, 2016. Today is 17th August. It is almost three-and-a-half months ago. The moment these reports are tabled before the House, they become public documents and anybody can access them from ... view

• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: the money was advanced to people as loans. I do not know whether Quorandum Limited was in the business of advancing loans to people. I remember the Chair putting it very well that there might have been conspiracy between officers of Chase Bank Limited, Quorandum Limited, Mr. Bruce Odhiambo and Ms. Catherine Namuye. view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: On Page 11 of this Report, there is an audit trail of Kshs8.9 million showing movement of money to an officer by the name Ezekiel Owuor, who was a very senior manager at Chase Bank at the time these transactions were made. It does not take a neurosurgeon to construe the picture that Mr. Ezekiel Owuor was probably receiving the Kshs8.9 million as his cut for facilitating the theft. This was not corruption. It was outright theft. It was daylight unarmed robbery. They went scot-free. Today, this officer has moved from Chase Bank to head one of the most efficient ... view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: That brings me to my second concern, which has been articulated by the Chair. There are the National Treasury regulations on how Government agencies, parastatals and Ministries should invest their surplus funds. There is a trail of transactions involving public funds in billions of shillings at Chase Bank, Imperial Bank, Dubai Bank and many other banks which have collapsed in this country. If you go through the accounts of Imperial Bank and Chase Bank, which have collapsed, you will find a string of Government parastatals and agencies which have put huge deposits there. Some of them are in billions of ... view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The other question is the commitment of our investigative agencies in terms of the turnaround time for investigations and prosecution. I mentioned that from the time this Report was tabled, we had a lot of time to investigate. I hope the investigative agencies will move with speed. They do not have to wait for this House to adopt the Report because there is clear evidence of outright theft of public funds. They should move with speed to make sure that this case serves as a very good example. About 60 per cent of our youth, from whom we have stolen ... view
• 28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to seek your guidance in relation to something you have just said. In view of the Motion that we have just passed, I do not intend to take the House back. Indeed, a Member of this House who has been sitting on the Speaker’s Panel might have been drawing responsibility allowances through the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). Being a House that is charged with the responsibility of overseeing Government and public expenditure, I seek your guidance whether the PSC that you chair, is in order to pay sitting allowances or responsibility allowances to a Member who ... view
• 28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: remember also that at the beginning of this term in 2013, we were confronted with the same problem when setting up the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and the Public Investments Committee (PIC). This is a pointer to the Parliamentary Select Committee on electoral reforms and to some of the things that we should do as a country. We should make sure that we consult with those who do not sit in this House. Maybe we can get ways to see that those who lose presidential elections sit in this House and become the Leader of the Minority Party, like Hon. ... view
